Westbays of WPA & OH

Please contact my father (Harry Westbay) at [email protected] . He has done extensive research on his branch of the Westbay Family in Western Pa. He has details regarding Henry Westbay (b. 1740 in Ireland (?), d. 2/19/1824 in Westmoreland Township). Henry and 4 brothers (William, Patrick, Steward and James) emigrated around 1764 from Ireland with a Land Grant Charter for the Kentucky Territory. I believe that they stopped and settled in Westmoreland County due to concerns about Indians. Looking through his notes , I do see an Eliza Jane Westbay (b. 2/18/1836 d. 12/23/1878). I also know that numerous members of the family relocated to the Zanesville, Ohio area. Hope this is helpful. Good Luck.
